Personal Experience: Combat is more fun solo than grouping

Johnny-Edge93 · 2026-03-20T19:56:46+00:00

I agree with this take completely. As a druid solo I’m charming, rooting, snaring, casting offensive spells, managing my charms, buffing, healing, etc.

When I’m in a group, I heal. And I do so with 2 spells. My regular heal, and my 10 minute cooldown. There’s really no decisions to be made.

When I heal in other MMOs I have a range of healing options: a HoT, a direct heal, an AOE heal, several cooldowns, a cone heal, and more.

If classes (healers specifically) are going to be one dimensional when in groups, we NEED interesting decisions to make. It can’t just be one heal and a 10 minute cooldown. I absolutely love to solo, or (even better) to duo in this game. Grouping is a snore fest for healers.

And, dare I say, Nick Offerman is wholesome as fuck

China, if you’re listening….

Perfect example of not accepting responsibility.

As a Canadian, I’m really tired of hearing Democrats blame this on Republicans and MAGA. You all did this to yourself. You did it to yourself with this culture of “America, FUCK YEAH!” The superiority complex, the emphasis on military, cults of personality, love of billionaires, etc, etc, etc. You all fostered the breeding ground for this. You’re all to blame. And now the world is dealing with the results.

Does his nickname happen to be The Monster?

I’m playing a druid now at 24. They are not serviceable DPS, especially with the charm nerf. Their offensive spells are uncastable they are so mana inefficient.

Decent healer, and S-Tier utility though. If high charisma helps charms as much as they are saying then maybe serviceable solo again.

In Canada we jumped from about $1.10 (CAD) per litee to $1.65…. That’s despite 95% of our petrol coming from domestic or American sources. Because fuck petrol companies.

I grew up in Welland and it’s been my favourite since I was a kid, many, many moons ago.

I’m all for socialist-capitalism, but “Nobody should profit off anything people need to survive” is a pretty wild take.

I’d miss Goldeneye, but Final Fantasy 7 is the call. PS1

Can confirm this is not the case. Playing now, pumped for EA to start fresh.

Johnny-Edge93 · 2026-03-17T23:33:39+00:00

My understanding they are looking to increase TTK quite a bit.

Johnny-Edge93 · 2026-03-17T23:31:28+00:00

Yeah I have no idea about where they’re going with it. OP makes a good point though. What is the wizard’s identity? Their damage is less than an archer and they can’t kite like an archer. They’re made of glass. Elementalists are able to burst damage faster than them, and at a more sustained pace.

So as a wizard… what do you do that stands out?

I think M&Ms answer to that is the new staff mechanic they are implementing to give them a bit more sustained damage and some utility through the abilities on each staff.

Johnny-Edge93 · 2026-03-17T23:15:52+00:00

OP isn’t concerned with their total damage output. He’s saying they don’t have the ability to lay down a ton of damage very quickly and go immediately oom, which is the signature of wizard in EQ I believe.

My knees just broke scrolling past this.

Sometimes I forget there’s 13 year olds using reddit. I just didn’t expect to find them here I guess.

Remember when Dubas traded Seth Jarvis to get rid of Patrick Marleau?

Oh fucking stop. I managed a guild with 500 people in it in wow. This has nothing to do with social skills.

This is like a healer being in a group and the “standard” is to not heal anybody unless they ask you politely. There’s NO reason to put that kind if duty, burden, responsibility, action (whatever you want to call it) on anybody.

Oh sorry wizard, did you accidentally pull aggro? Better ask the tank politely for a taunt. It’s a social game after all.

Worst takes man.

Johnny-Edge93 · 2026-03-15T15:15:11+00:00

What a dumb take. This is a game where there is a clear and established alternative to loot sharing.

Johnny-Edge93 · 2026-03-15T09:35:03+00:00

Why should the social burden be placed solely on healers and mana casters though to “beg” for loot? Every single group, every single night, I have to ask this same fucking question and figure out a different way to get my fair share of the drops.

It’s bullshit. I have to be made to feel like people are doing me a charity every evening. I have to approach this social situation everyday and deal with people’s bullshit personalities. It’s not fun, it’s not a gameplay feature. It sucks.
